Samantha Ruth Prabhu does Downward Dog Aerial Yoga Pose
Samantha Ruth Prabhu shared a video of herself doing the Downward Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana) pose with an Aerial Yoga twist on her Instagram stories. She tagged her friend, Anusha Swamy, and captioned the post, “Day 2 [white heart emoji].” The post shows Samantha attending an Aerial Yoga class at her resort’s gym in Bali. To do the Downward Dog Aerial Yoga pose, Samantha balanced her body on the harness by placing her lower torso on it. Then, she did the asana by keeping her legs straight, bending her body forward and extending her hands to touch the floor. Check it out below.
Downward Dog Aerial Yoga Pose benefits:
If you need midweek motivation, here are some benefits of practising the Downward Dog Aerial Yoga pose to inspire you to roll out the yoga mat and start exercising. Downward Dog Pose strengthens the upper body, elongates the spine, strengthens hands, wrists and fingers, opens up the backs of the legs, improves circulation, and relieves tension and stress.
Additionally, the hammock takes the awareness towards the muscles engaged while in Downward Facing Dog Aerial Pose. This allows the muscles, like hamstrings, calves, biceps, triceps, spine and shoulders, to be stretched deeper.
